Ep 04 - From a Prince to a Prophet

Frances Hogan delves into the profound narrative of the book of Exodus Chapters 2 and 3, unraveling the intricacies of God's divine plan for Israel's deliverance. Before the cry for freedom resounded, God orchestrated His solution, setting events in motion long before the plea of the Israelites echoed. Moses, once a prince of Egypt, had to undergo a transformation—a process of unlearning and relearning God's ways. He initially thought that he could liberate the people of Israel as an Egyptian prince but his own people rejected him. It was in the desert's solitude that Moses encountered divine knowledge, shedding his former identity to embrace the path God had ordained. Hogan highlights the pivotal moment when God shattered Moses' princely facade, seeking instead a childlike faith—a faith refined by the desert's trials. As Moses was prepared and the people of Israel awaited, God was ready to intervene in human history. His presence manifests in the burning bush, heralding the commencement of the Exodus saga.
